The woman Who Yelled Racial Slurs At 5 Year-Old raised Over $600K for the ‘Protection’ of her children.
Shiloh Hendrix’s of Minnesota fundraising page initially had a goal set for $50,000 after a video went video of her in a park calling a child the n-word on a playground in Rochester on April 28.
The man recording the video “Sharmake Omar”, told viewers that he knows the boy and his family, and the child is on the autism spectrum.
The woman then uses the racist slur multiple times on camera, before adding “If he acts like one then he’s going to be called one.”
After the video went viral, Hendrix set up a fundraising page for herself, which she titled “Help Me Protect My Family,” on GiveSendGo.

| My name is Shiloh and I have been put into a very dire situation. I recently had a kid steal from my 18month old sons diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Another man, who we recently found out has had a history with law enforcement, proceeded to record me and follow me to my car. He then posted these videos online which has caused my family, and myself, great turmoil. My SSN has been leaked. My address, and phone number have been given out freely. My family members are being attacked. My eldest child may not be going back to school. Even where I exercise has been exposed.
I am asking for your help to assist in protecting my family. I fear that we must relocate. I have two small children who do not deserve this. We have been threatened to the extreme by people online. Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear! Thank You |
The woman’s fundraising page quickly garnered over $600,000 in donations, far exceeding her initial $50,000 goal. The outpouring of support for her actions has been met with widespread condemnation, as many view her racist tirade as unacceptable and deserving of consequences, not financial assistance. It remains to be seen how the funds will be utilized and whether they will ultimately be used to protect the woman’s family or to provide support for the young victim and his family.
